So pretty, Janine....and I will be checking out those recipes....since we just picked 46 lb of blueberries, I think I'll check out that recipe with marscapone---my mouth is watering just thinking of it! Yum!

I love your color choices for your card! I wouldn't think to use such a wide ribbon, but it really works here. I think I would try your filet mignon recipe. Thanks for the chance to win some great candy.

Since it is so hot & humid here, I am going for something light: BLUEBERRIES WITH LEMON-MASCARPONE CREAM. It sounds delicious. Also thank you for the opportunity to participate in the blog candy drawing.

Oooooh, I love Blueberries and always on the lookout for new recipes for them. I planted bushes this Spring and was so excited to pick a few handfuls of berries a few weeks ago. Next year I will be ready for more recipes !

Janine, actually I found a lot of recipes I would like to try but your Grilled Tomatoes would be my first choice since we have tried to grill them without success. The Shrimp and Pasta also sounded good, too. Thanks for the chance to win some blog candy. Please us the email under my name. Thanks.Shirley L.shirlee@surewest.net

Beautiful birthday card Janine!! Love the big bow and gorgeous color!! Thanks for sharing your recipes! I will have to try the cocktail of course, and the pizza, and, well the whole menu is enticing!! lol. smiles,Deena

LOVE your card, Janine -- SO rich and LUSH!!! Total elegance! And your menu is much fancier than I know how to cook, I am sure -- sounds fancy anyway -- LOL!!! I didn't know you had a recipe blog - I must check it out -- thanks!!!

Yum! So glad I followed all the links to your blog and now can go drool over your food blog, as well! The artichoke pizza sounds fabulous!!! Thanks for sharing the great birthday card and the fun blog candy, too!

Hi Janine, I am new to you and your blog. I too love to cook and eat, My daddy always said "Anyone who likes to eat better learn how to cook!" and I did. I think the Fillet with Parmesan Sauce sounded worth trying. I like a good fillet most days, but usually make "shrooms" in a butter sauce. Thanks for the recipes.

WOW ... you go girl!! Your card is awesome and that ribbon ... {{sigh}} ... beautiful!! OH for sure it would be the Fontina cheese & Artichoke pizza ... yummmmmmmThanks for ALL the luscious tasting recipes ... I'll jump over later and print out a few!! Have a great weekend!!

Wow--check out all the comments! Gorgeous card! And I will most certainly be checking out your recipes and trying them all. I went rummaging through my cookbooks yesterday, thinking I had the Julia Child book you were looking for, but it was the wrong book. However, I'm keeping my eyes open for it on my travels, and if I find it, I'll grab it for you!!

My mouth is watering just reading all the recipes. LOL I would love to try the FONTINA CHEESE AND ARTICHOKE PIZZA!Your birthday card is just beautiful and love the colors and that ribbon rocks. Thanks for a chance.

OMG that menu sounds out of this world. I may have to try it all. My step son got married out of state and I thought I might have a dinner in their honor when they come back for the relatives who couldn't make it. This sounds impressive. Thanks for the wonderful ideas. Your card is so very awesome too!

I have several anniversaries coming up so this set would be so welcome!! Love your blog but the recipes always draw me! Many more of these tasty treats and I will have to use my stamp money for stretch pants!! Thanks for a great blog!

I'm a purple girl, and this card really does it for me! I love that ribbon and how beautifully it compliments the pastel color on the flowers! It's gorgeous!!Mention blueberries and lemons in the same sentence and I'm there!! LOL TFS those yummy recipes!

These all sound so yummy and now I'm on the spot to choose! I think, as I have eastern Canada roots, I'm going to try the blueberry dish first, made with NS wild blueberries. Sounds heavenly!Thanks for the chance to win :)

Well, I've already printed out the Filet Mignons with Parmesan Butter. I must say, I'm thinking I'll give the pizza a try, though, too. Silly me, but I knew you loved to cook, but I didn't know you had a recipe blog. It's in my favorites now! Oh, I was salivating over the blueberry recipe, too. Not sure where I'd find some of these ingredients -- small town, you know. Can definitely do the Filet Mignon, though. Your card is sooooooo pretty! Love the colors! Thanks a million for the recipes. I'll be back to your recipe blog, for sure!

Janine, the microwave is my main place that food comes from when I have to fend for myself! gonna check the recipe site though -- hubby is the chef, literally! love your card -- your bows are alwasy stunning and with the bling in the center, this one's no exception!

Oooh, they all sound delicious! I would definitely try the fontina and artichoke pizza. The blueberries are tempting too, but I'd have to serve it to company since I am the only one in my household who likes blueberries. Crazy huh?

Ah blueberries and lemon marscapone cheese sounds heavenly. But, then again all of the recipes sounds great. My husband probably would rather try the filet mignon so it is a toss up. I love your card too. Thanks for sharing.

O.K - My hubby and I just came back from an amazing Italian dinner so I'm stuffed. However.........there is always room for more. We are truly steak fans so the Filet Mignon receipe truly appeals to me.

All of the recipes sound fabulous I know i'll have to try the filet though. I've never tried marscapone is it like a cream cheese?? Where would I buy it?? Thanks for all the great ideas I love to cook and try new recipes.

Hi Janine,Happy Blogaversary to you!You put together a fantastic menu, every course is mouth watering! The blueberry dessert sounds delicious. I would definitely try to make this dessert:)Thanks for the opportunity to win such terrific candy.hugsRisa:)

The recipes have made me to hungry. I am going to the grocery store and get the ingredients for ALL of them tomorrow, except the limoncello, I have it! You want me to pick one! ha, not happening.thank you so much. I have bookmarked both of your site.Rita

Hello Janine from Canberra Australia!! How can I pick one recipe - I am married to an Italian man who is a disillusioned cook by trade - so any new recipe, especially Italian sounds good to me - but I think I will try the FONTINA CHEESE AND ARTICHOKE PIZZA it sounds YUMBLY! Thank you for the opportunity to play for the Candy - Happy birthday to Sharon and last but not least - love you card - the colours are fabulous!! Thanks again for the chance to play - God bless you!
